Description |
Zhao Zhao is a significant figure among the young, post-1980s generation of contemporary Chinese artists. His first monograph in English examines an artistic practice emblematic for its ability to address conflict – social, political, and aesthetic – in a world undergoing unprecedented upheaval. The artist has consistently positioned his art as a counterweight to systems of control which affect and regulate the lives of individuals in China, and its increasingly global reach testifies to a profound resonance beyond his country’s borders. Using a wide range of materials, Zhao Zhao is positioned as a crucial agent in the contemporary cultural discourse. With essays by Hou Hanru and Li Zhenhua. |
